Verlinden update set for 1/32 Focke Wulf FW 190A8 Part #1675
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, February 13, 2006 9:23 PM

This is the first detail set I have used from the Verlinden company and was wondering if anyone out there has any comments or feedback.  I am surprised how vague the instructions are, with lots of reference books I can figure most of it out. I am having trouble with the resin machine gun, and exactly how they are attatched to the ammo boxes, there are two pieces for either side of the gun that should be attatched to the top of the ammo box which would be very difficult and none of my references show an actual photograph of the layout.  Any pictures or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I bought  the same detail set and my instructions seem to be incomplete, or maybe they didn't pack them into the kit in the first place. To tell you the truth I am combing the internet myself trying to find some information on how to use this detail set. I have an older Hasegawa kit, and one of the newest from Hasegawa, plus the new Revell of Germany Fw 190 F-8 kit and I can't see how this Verlinden detail set 1675 can help with any of my Fw 190 kits. Good luck I have all but given up on useing mine on any of the Focke-Wulf 190 kits I am current working on. I wish Trumpeter or Tamiya would offer a 1/32 scale kit of the short nosed Fw 190 but that seems like too much to hope for !

I'm having the same problem.  A small Verlinden PE set and resin was in the box when I bought my Accurate Miniatures TBM Avenger.  VERY  vague intruction sheet. i had to just figure out where the parts went and I still have a few that I wonder what they are or where they go. They need to hire a better draftsman.

Thanks for your reply about the verlinden detail set . If anybody knows of a web site that shows how to add this detail set to any of the Focke-Wulf 190 A-7 through A-9, or how to use them on any of the Fw 190 F-8 kits please post them here. I could really use the help
